Fair access for women, girls and gender diverse people accessing sports and recreation

20 Mar 2025

We’re inviting our community to share their experiences on how we can make sports and recreation more accessible and inclusive for women, girls, and gender diverse people in Merri-bek. 

At Merri-bek City Council, we are committed to ensuring fair and equitable access to sports facilities for all. To build on our ongoing efforts, we want to better understand the challenges that women, girls, and gender diverse individuals face in accessing sports and recreation opportunities in our community. 

What opportunities do you see for improvement? 

  • Would increased access to facilities help? 
  • Could more safe spaces enhance your experience? 
  • Would clearer program navigation make a difference? 

By understanding these opportunities, we are dedicated to ensuring our approach to managing sports facilities, grounds, and pavilions is inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the diverse needs of our community.

Your feedback will help us shape future policies and support to clubs so that sport and recreation opportunities facilities truly meet the needs of our diverse community.

Community consultation closes on 2 May 2025.
